Top 5 Most Useful WordPress Plugins in 2015

There are various opinions about WP. There are some security concerns but WP is still the world's most used CMS system. In my opinion, WP is the fastest, easiest and cheapest way to get your project out there. For a small business in a need of a site - WP is a very good option. If you have an issue 99% of the time you can Google an answer easily as WP has a huge user base and there are various active forums, troubleshooting all kinds WP coding issues. And one big plus – no subscriptions fees.

So here are the most useful plugins which I currently utilise:

Plugins for WP

1) Yoast

To be honest this is kind of shocking. If I would be designing/developing CMS, I would definitely have SEO build-in, eliminating a need for a plugin.
As WP has SEO, which is useless, this is the number 1 plugin on my list.https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/

2) Backup plugins

Right now I use BackWPup Free. Previously I had a go with BackUpWordPress which has better reviews on the WP site but for some reason this plugin is unable to backup our site.https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/

3) Shiftnav menu

On one of my projects, I could not work out how to fold the navigation to a button on the desktop view. I was using my favourite template – roots https://roots.io/, which has industry standard responsive framework bootstrap, included. I discovered Shiftnav and it does the job very nicely.https://wordpress.org/plugins/shiftnav-responsive-mobile-menu/

There are plugins, which show you the ip address of your site’s visitors. Unfortunately they don't match the ip address to an address therefore I did not find them particularly useful. There are various companies who offer trials, and they provide the name of the businesses visiting your site.
